I have visited the lakes several times now and me and the kids always have a great time. The north side is great for the kids as they can paddle in the stream and you can purchase fishing nets for £3 to look for fish. You can hire a peddalo out for £10/15 and there is a kids playground which is free and also an adventure course which you have to pay for. Lots of people bring there own bbqs. The only down side is that it does get quite packed when it's hot. The South side is much quieter and it is nice to walk around the lake and sit and have a peaceful bbq it is prettier than the north side. It also has a cafe and restaurant on the South side. Both side are easily accessible if you walk under the bridge.

Tea place was open it's quite flooded at the moment but enough for kids to do great for walking the dogs only get 1/2 hr free parking

Unfortunately our lovely trip was hit with a debt recovery letter when we got home!

Beware if parking here, download the parking app and create an account before arriving. We arrived and no cash payment option was available, the 5g service drops in and out, by the time we had download the app and signed up for an account we had been over 10 minutes in the carpark. We even arrived back to our car 20 mins before our paid ticket ran out. Once home we got a parking ticket, we contested it and never heard back until we got a debit recovery letter. When ringing the debt company we were told because we were in the car park for 10 minutes without a ticket it's an automatic fine! So please be aware at this car park. If the cash machine isn't working you can only use the app but you have to download it and create an account before you can buy a parking ticket. Also the picture of us leaving isn't us leaving the car park it's us joining the main road so if you can't exit onto the main road straight away or within your parking ticket amount of time you will be charged!

Shame on you Gemini Parking, a nice day out spoilt by an automated computer ticket rather than a compassionate human being listening and understanding that in a remote area the 5g hardly works, there is limited call service so how do you expect a large app to be downloaded and an account created and then payment to be processed all within 10 minutes? Whilst also having to read the sign and follow instructions, as well as the time to park and walk to the ticket machine???

Nice park, great for kids. Boat rides and a great playground. Cafe on site, even an Italian restaurant.

Such a shame...

The Stanborough Park is a lovely area to visit, but unfortunately the car park is not! On entering the North car park, there is a massive pot hole, which must be avoided.

We needed to purchase all-day parking to allow us to go for a bike ride, but the cost of this was so expensive at £10. No wonder the car park was virtually empty. This car park is totally underutilised. If the cost of the parking was reduced by say half, I recon that there would be significantly more visitors, and more profit would be made to repair the pot hole.

This is a beautiful place but as it was the bank holiday I would have expected the bin's to be cleaned out regularly this was here for hours as my husband and I walked the whole of the boating lake and fishing lake and back to the car park, being local we can park here for £250 pounds a year but as a blue badge holder parking is not as expensive there are new water activates on the fishing lake and some grate looking peddle boats on the boating lake and the little rivers are full of fish and ducks just saddened by the rubbish being left behind.

Went here with my family, with my mum too who has a blue badge. Once seeing parking was free we registered the car and went on our way. Two week later we received a fine for £60, which when appealed became £120…the people that operate this and EVERYONE that works for them are absolute scum, beware.

Machines don’t work scanner system not working and no doubt going to get a ticket by the reviews
